if your happy and you know it

Wow, I cannot believe that it is already February! This year is already flying by.. Curtis birthday is Saturday and then Valentines Day is on Tuesday! ... exciting!!
The past few weeks we have done some fun things, and also relaxed alot because we both have been sick. no fun. Curtis is still sick so we have been taking it easy.
It has been cold here but no snow here. It snowed, or I should say Iced, here a few weeks ago but that is it.
Curtis is doing Two internships (he is very busy) and I am still working. Luckily our work building are really close to each other and we work at the same time. What a coincidence!
So here are some pictures of fun things we have done lately.
Curtis planned a day date for us to go to China town, I think it was two Saturdays ago. On Jan 28. After we walked and ate there, we went to the Portrait museum and that was pretty neat! Had a big variety of art things.
pretty sure people thought i was weird when i took this pic... lol

outside one of the chinese restaurants they make things like noodles right in front of you!

These were our Freaky Fortunes. Curtis is at the top and mine was at the bottom. CREEEPY.... it knows us well..lol




These pictures are in the very middle of the inside of the National Portrait Gallery. It was like an atrium with the building surrounding you...and the roof was awesome!



These were like waterfalls but the water just flowed evenly on the entire rectangle. They could be like little reflection pools if people weren't playing on them. The kids were having a good time... and so was Curtis. lol



Some scultpures


This picture was Pocahontas, it really is, too bad you can't see her face... lol

An amazing grand piano that i loved. 

My role model!! hahah (L cool J ... Laura cool Jenkins..)
We wanted to do cool poses by this amazing painting of LL cool J but there were people standing around watching us so we couldn't flash any gang signs. ;) haha



This art was really neat. It was the US outlined in lights then inside every state there were tv's that had videos going on representing each state. Like for Kansas they had Wizard of Oz playing. In Utah they just had, what looked like, a video of someone driving through Utah Dessert on a road trip or something. Not too exciting. haha



On our walk back to our car (which was pretty far away I might add) we decided to just have fun. We found all sorts of things...

My cute Lion


random art sculpture or something? 


So you can't really tell, but the sunset was SO beautiful. The colors in the sky were pink, purple, blue, orange... pictures never do them justice. 



We also went to The Whitehouse and went on a tour of it this last Saturday on the 4th. We were pretty excited. To go on a whitehouse tour you have to get it approved through your state legistlative and everything so you have it plan it a ways in advance. They don't let you take any pictures of the inside so we unfortunately don't have any of those. But we do have pictures of the outside! haha
Here are a couple from this last Saturday.





 The inside of the whitehouse was pretty amazing. We saw a couple of rooms but they were so extravagant and had so much history behind everything in each of the rooms. Each of the rooms had a name too ie: red room, green room, oval room... nothing crazy, but it was really neat!


Also, my mom sent me this picture. My cute nephew Ryan was baptized on Dec 24! Its been a little bit now, but its just so exciting! Congrats Ry, we are so proud of you!

Ryan, Jeff (my bro), and Kaleb

That concludes the pictures that I have. We also went to a fun superbowl party that our friends threw. It was a fun time, with Amazing food that they made from scratch and it all looked so pretty! ... I still keep thinking about the delicious red velvet cake they had... mmm 
I am so sad that I didn't take any pictures. Some of them did so I will have to try to track those down to post them. 
love you all!
